these guys will always hate on scottie cuz they have agendas for cade and mobley (RIV..COUGH COUGH) but if they're being honest, he's been the best player from that draft class so far this season so miss me with that consistency bs
Luka added the post Gabe two years ago lol. He added the midrange year 3. JT is playing catch-up. It feels like this time Luka adding leadership this year
Luka Doncic is a better finisher at the rim, midrange, and equal 3 point shooter to Tatum while being a top 3 offensive facilitator in the league. Pretending that the offense is equal is insane. He’s a better free throw shooter and that’s it.
Luka shoots over 40% from 3 in the playoffs… if Luka was on the Celtics the system would be him. All that shooting abs defense. JB is the perfect co star. Game over
Just a reminder that Joel's take about the Grizzlies missing the playoffs was before Steven Adams, Luke Kennard, and Santi Aldama were injured. Thats why the reaction was what it was
The Luka hate from drew and dehls and the Tatum hate from Joel are all nasty as hell. Riv and og the only ones talking sense up there definitely gotta fast forward through this topic
I think Warriors are a matchup problem for the Nuggets. Cp3/Curry/Klay getting Jokic on switches…. Lakers are a tough matchup but Wiggins also was just getting back into rhythm.
what size? jokic and gordon? that's it? did u saw what happened to jokic when he was guarded by draymond in the clutch? gordon ain't doing shit when he's tired by the pace of the warriors this season trust me the nuggets don't wanna see the warriors i hate the warriors but they are going to be the kryptonite for em @@AngelPerez-dc7qo
I don't get the argument that Tatum has improved more than luka so he is a better player. even though Tatum has improved more luka was better when he came in and is still better because he started out so good
Simply remove TEAM performance, yes I know it’s hard to do that when ranking individual players lmao but just do it for a sec. Luka got pretty much all the offensive threats and Tatum defensive. One team is stacked the other not so much. Is it close yes. Is Luka better currently also yes. Simple.
Lets not act like we didn't see Jordan Poole look off Curry and take a shot heaven knows he shouldn't have been taking. 😂😂😂😂 That's primarily why they shipped him off.
Luka is a better finisher than JT, he's a better midrange shooter than JT, he's a better post player than JT, he's a better passer than JT, Luka is a better playmaker than JT. Luka is also a better scorer than JT, both in the regular season and playoffs. People are saying there's a gap defensively, there's a gap offensively as well. Luka is THAT much better than Tatum on offense. Also, for the guys saying JT is the better three-point shooter, the gap isn't that large. The last 2 yrs Tatum is shooting league average efficiency from deep at 35%. Same as Luka. Only difference is Luka has a higher three-point volume.
This defensive argument of “luka vs tatum” really doesnt matter as much as you guys credit it. They’re both corner watchers that if they get switched on can defend ok. They are both near the bottom in the league in avg mph on defense because they guard the corner dudes. Tatum is a way better transition defender but how much does that really matter in the playoffs? Star’s defense when they’re only guarding the corner like both luka and tatum doesnt really matter as much. So yes ones offense being better is usually the determinant
1:19:14 that boston fan was lying. You’ll beat miami 9 times out of 10 if jimmy didn’t care. Miami won a game against boston last season because jimmy wasn’t trolling.
I love Pick a Side but these clowns in Dehls, Drew, and OG were hating so hard on Luka. Tatum each year did improve a lot but why are we rewarding growth in this argument when Luka has always been the better player. The only thing JT has over Luka is defense. 4 1st Team all NBAs in his first 5 seasons like what are we doing here? Also shitting on him because he wasn’t drafted into a great team like the Celtics is crazy. He not no choice on where to go JT was fortunate enough to be drafted into a great system. That’s not fair to Luka in this argument and I think both players are great but Luka is comfortably the 3rd-4th best player in the league while Tatum is 6-7 which is a significant drop off.
10:53 Really? 27-28 is "getting up there in age" lol? These dudes gotta stop acting like once you're in your late 20s - early 30s you're officially old. Cause you're not.
@@GJTrae essentially the same. Russ and harden aren't on the same level. Steph and Paul aren't on the same level. Both Paul and russ could start on other teams.
Any team you trade him too is so unfair (OKC, Golden State, Orlando etc...) I doubt the Sixers will trade him, he might choose to remain a Sixer for life...
@@DJ-fh4du Bucks are still figuring out how to manage a Dame and Giannis attack. Plus they could have the same problem with Adrian Griffin the same problem the Celtics had last year with Mazzulla. The East is pretty much the Celtics to lose
Sixers shouldn’t make a move. You’re Philly Embiid is only 29. Wait till FA to get Siakam or Derozan. Keep your picks. After that it really is time to just trade Embiid
how is drew and OG able to talk about lakers beating the warriors in the playoffs when the lakers are looking like a bottom team as of this moment.. LOL
As much as I want to shut y’all up Riv. I’ll pass on a dubs-wolves matchup unless it’s in the conference finals. I prefer home court and a cake walk in the playoffs. Curry ain’t cake so I’m good on that. If the wolves don’t get out the first round I’m gonna lose my mind Wolves match up well against big teams like the Nuggets & the Lakers. I’m not sure what it’s gonna be like against a small ball 3-point shooting team. Hopefully we’re healthy so we can see the twin towers experiment to completion
Harden wasnt saying he wanted mors FGA, he was simply saying how wtih Doc, he would make suggests to make adjustments in game but Doc wouldn't listen and we saw that in game 6 and 7
That doesn’t change the fact he has preformed how he always has when it truly matters. He shot like 3 for 16 in that game 7 against the Celtics which is totally unacceptable when you are a player with his skill. He’s done this same pattern since 2018 and he has never changed
@DuhShazey did you watch the game like I did? Doc was forcing the ball through embiid and he was getting locked up so the only shots Harden and Maxey took were legitimately heat check shots when the play fell apart bc Embiid got clamped up but Doc didn't want to make adjustments
@taj3618 bc his FGA attempts have drastically gone down, and his assists have drastically gone up. His shooting % has actually been better since the change so he easily average 27ppg if he took even 4 to 5 more shots a game. They brought to the team to facilitate for Maxey and Embiid, that's what he did
@@sydguitar99 his fta also were cut in half. He wasn’t brought to the team to facilitate for Maxey. Maxey was a late first round pick that the Sixers lucked up on. Harden was supposed to be the second star. He’s just no longer the scorer he was in his Houston days
Nah man we are not letting Embiid off the hook. He's the most overrated superstar in the league, went from averaging 30 to 20 in the playoffs. Injuries or not, that doesn't excuse his bone head plays like dribbling into double teams, taking bad middys, or throwing the ball out of bounds. Westbrook gets killed for those type of play but embiid gets a pass?
@Kardu3 he did not tear his knee, stop the cap and again that does not excuse his low ass IQ moments like TOs in big moments, not passing out of doubles, throwing the ball away. With his size, he could have dominated the paint against the Cs but he kept taking those stupid middys
@@rohangupte3545I second what u said. Luka hasn’t had a Jaylen brown on his team other than Kyrie and he’s out most games it would seem. And Luka still balls out and is currently coming out on top in the west almost by himself because he is a true leader and shows up every time u need him. Tatum without all those stars around him would usually flop and we’ve seen this happen many times in crunch time
Love when OG comes on the show
How has Scottie not been consistent and how has he not been the clear cut best player on the team? He's leading in pts, rebs and blks.
Now. No time before this was he the best player on that team.
Yeah they just be chatting
